Listen to what you seeYou are blind to what you hearListen to what you seeDo not fear the truth beneathReach for roots beneath the treesListen to the words you seekDon't listen to a word they sayDo NOT listen to a word you've heardDo not listen to a word you've heardPeople are people we live for our ownLive how you think not by what you've been told

I've been a foolOh I've been a foolWalking the line with both of my eyes shutAnd I'm begging youOh I'm begging you

Don't listen to a word you've heardDon't listen to a word you've heard

This world is full of strangersThis world is full of hypocritesScratching for their winningsAt least I am one to admitOh born in a world relying on goldI've yet to find someone under controlBut people are people and we live for our ownLive how you think not by what you've been told

Don't listen to a word you've heardDon't listen to a word you've heardDon't listen to a word you've heardDon't listen to a word you've heard

The flag waves up above youFor liberty and freedomAnd fighting for your nationKilling a wives, daughters, husbands, sonAnd your toldThat you're being attackedBy terrorist invasionsBut over and over againIt is you who points the gun

Don't listen to a word you've heardDon't listen to a word you've heardDon't listen to a word you've heardDon't listen to a word you've heard

If you close your eyes right nowTry to seek a vision you can listen toA vision of collisions of what you know is trueYou can do what you pursue if you only try toTo open your eyesAnd listen to the visions colliding with collisionsCollisions on a missionRisen from what you've listened toListen toNoDon't listen to a word you've heardDon't listen to a word you've heardUnlessUnless the word that you've heard is a word that you saidClose your ears to words from outUnless the word came out your headOr the word was built with your handsClose your soul to a voice of a man from a non distant land Cause that man has a plan to put bullets through your standDo you stand under thisOrDo you stand over thisDo you over stand meYou must not be listeningIts O.K. I understandWhy

IWeNo he,Told youBut DoIf you have the words inside your selfThenListen to the words you hearListen to the words you sayListen to the words you sayListen to the words you say
